Patent number: 11437819Abstract: A system for regulating electrical energy transfer over a pathway including a DC link (16, 18, 20) is provided. The system is configured for computing a rate of electrical energy flow through the DC link at least in part on a basis of a state of balance between power generation and a load determined from frequency measurement (32, 34) and for adjusting the rate of electrical energy flow through the DC link. An electrical vehicle charger is provided that includes a power input for connection to an AC power distribution network and a power output for connection to an electric vehicle, and is configured for determining a rate of electrical energy flow through the power output by using as a factor a state of balance between power generation and load in an AC power distribution network to which the power input connects. A method for regulating electrical energy transfer over a pathway including a DC link is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: BIPCO-SOFT R3 INC.Inventors: Gilles Trudel, Simon Jasmin, Irenee Normandin

Patent number: 10742029Abstract: A power control device for regulating the power that a load consumes on the basis of the AC supply frequency. The system includes decision logic that responds to a frequency deviation to implement a power regulation strategy. The power regulation strategy includes a power compensation phase during which the electrical power that the load consumes is adjusted (reduced or increased) to balance the load on the grid. The power regulation strategy also includes a power restoration phase during which the power to the load is restored (either increased or decreased). The rate at which the power is adjusted during the power compensation phase is higher than the rate at which the power is restored during the power restoration phase.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: BIPCO-Soft R3 Inc.Inventors: Gilles Trudel, Simon Jasmin, Irene Normandin

Publication number: 20200052487Abstract: A power control device for use in an AC power grid for regulating an electrical power load that is supplied by the AC power grid consumes. The power control device has a frequency sensing functional black for detecting a rate of deviation of the grid frequency from a nominal grid frequency and a logic functional block for performing a load shedding process during which the power load consumes is reduced. The load shedding process is characterized by parameters, the logic functional block controlling one or more parameters of the load shedding process at least in part on the basis of the rate of deviation of the grid frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Gilles Trudel, Simon Jasmin, Iréné Normandin
